SDL

"Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games, including the award winning Linux port of "Civilization: Call To Power."

5. The 'include' directory needs to be added to "Additional Include Directories".

I created a new directory "C:\p\include" and copied the contents of the SDL include directory there. (P standing for 'programming'). See "Project -> Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories."

6. The 'lib' directory needs to be added to "Additional Library Directories".

I created a new directory "C:\p\lib" and copied the contents of the SDL lib directory there. See "Project -> Properties -> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories".

7. SDLmain.lib and SDL.lib need to be added to the "Additional Dependencies".
